Hi there,
On my (L)ubuntu box I can only get syncthing started if I reinstall it after each login.
What is the problem:
- I have syncthing installed on both an Ubuntu PC and Arch laptop;
- They are not syncing unless I have the browser interface open on the ubuntu box.
- Syncthing on ubuntu worked fine after a reinstall, but failed to start on the next reboot.
What have I tried so far:
Purge and reinstall via apt followed by:
systemctl --user enable syncthing.service
systemctl --user start syncthing.service
then:
systemctl --user status syncthing.service
all fine - but after a reboot:
systemctl --user status syncthing.service returns:
● syncthing.service - Syncthing - Open Source Continuous File Synchronization

Fuller details (incl error messages) are on the Ubuntu forum, but those guys are not syncthing specialists and I’ve had no response.
Happy to post errors / outputs here directly.
